• Caption: The nightmare on Route 4 south unfolded. Oklahoma City TV station KFOR had told people to flee their homes. Result: an disaster-movie-style traffic jam as the storm shifted southeast with new tornado-warned areas of rotation. I was never more frightened on a chase as I was sitting in traffic. Hundreds could have died. Fortunately, a new tornado did not materialize at my location. Here, people fill all lanes (including northbound and shoulders) going south in an attempt to get away as the couplet passes overhead. Photo by Chris Kridler, SkyDiary.com, ChrisKridler.com
